SUSANNAH

((( Man # 9 )))

There's something
Strange about Susannah
She's such a twisted little girl
She's got me wrapped around her finger
Someday she plans to rule the world

It wouldn't surprise you if she succeeded
She's got a radiance you can't resist
But deep inside her heart is evil
I've tasted venom in her kiss

Most people tell me
That she's wrong for me
Because she never treats me right
They say her temper's much too volatile
She's like a stick of dynamite

But I could never tell her no
She's much too sharp to let her go
What would I do if I was anywhere
But standing there with her?

I met Susannah in September
She was the new girl at the school
I watched her walk into the classroom
Her sway was calm
And her collection was cool

Somehow she found me once again
The girl I've loved so many times
With every movement
That Susannah makes
She's like a past-life pantomime

It's sad to know this couldn't last
I should be learning a lot
From what I learned in the past
What could I do?
I fell in love with her
Because she said she fell in love with me

I told Susannah she was dying
She said I'm crazy but I cleaned the slate
She heard the dark details
Of our past livings
And every time we had a brush with fate

She said: "I love you, but I hate you more
Because I'm doomed to die tonight"

I said: "Our one year anniversary
Will be a wake by candlelight, but…

"Oh Susannah don't you cry
'Cause it's a matter of fact
It's just a matter of time"
